Tips for Winter Foot Care from Advanced Tissue
Diabetic foot care is always important, but winter can make keeping your foot health an even bigger challenge, considering the health threats like numbness and decreased circulation. These Tips can help you care for your feet.
Inspect Your Feet Every Day
Look carefully at all the pressure areas of your feet and between your toes. Inspect them for any breaks in the skin, discharge, changes in color, odor and any painful corns or calluses. If you have trouble seeing your feet closely, ask a friend or family member to help with your diabetic foot care. Let your doctor know about any changes you find.
Pick the Right Footwear
Make sure winter shoes and boots provide warmth, protections form snow and ice, and proper padding, and that they are roomy enough not to constrict blood flow to your feet. Avoid man-made shoe or boot materials that lock in moisture, and don't forget about choosing the right socks.
Keep Your Feet Dry
Sloshing through wet snow or icy puddles can lead to dangerously damp feet. Moisture that collects between your socks and your feet and between your toes for too long can invite unwanted bacteria to gather. When your feet get wet for being outside or bathing, you need to dry them carefully and gently. Also, remember to change out of wet socks as soon as possible.
Moisturizing is a Must
Diabetes nerve damage and poor circulation can cause decreased function of the moisturizing glands of your feet. Watch for red, shiny areas when you do your daily inspection. Ask your doctor to recommend a good moisturizer for diabetic foot care, and use it after bathing, your feet every day, but avoid leaving too much moisturizer between your toes.
Trim Your Toenails
Untrimmed or infected toenails are a frequent cause of infections and ulcers. Ask your diabetes doctor how to trim your toenails correctly. you can soak you feet first to soften the nails and then cut them straight across. if you have trouble trimming your nails, get professional help.
Don't Burn Your Feet
Nerve damage in your feet caused by diabetes can make keeping them warm in winter risky. Be careful when using electric blankets, hot soaks, and heating pads or warming your feet on a radiator. Always check water temperature with your hands or a bath thermometer before you stick your feet in.
Control Blood Sugar
Keeping your diabetes under good control is an important part of diabetic foot care. Work with your doctor to control your sugar and be sure to watch your diet, maintain your weight, exercise regularly, and avoid smoking. Your feet will thank you.
